WARNING: before you use the washer dryer for the first
time, run a wash cycle with detergent and no laundry,
using the 90° cottons cycle without pre-wash.
1. SWITCH THE MACHINE ON. Press the
button.
All the indicator lights will illuminate for 1 second; the
indicator light corresponding to the
button will then
remain lit in a fixed manner and the START/PAUSE
indicator light will flash slowly.
2. LOAD THE LAUNDRY. Open the porthole door.
Load the laundry, making sure you do not exceed the
maximum load value indicated in the table of wash
cycles on the following page.
3. MEASURE OUT THE DETERGENT. Pull out the
detergent dispenser drawer and pour the detergent
into the relevant compartments as described in
Description of the machine.
4. CLOSE THE PORTHOLE DOOR.
5. SELECT THE PROGRAMME. Turn the WASH
CYCLE SELECTOR KNOB right or left, until you have
selected the desired wash cycle. A temperature and
spin speed is set for each wash cycle; these may be
adjusted.
6. CUSTOMISE THE WASH CYCLE. Use the
relevant buttons on the control panel:
Modify the temperature.
The machine automatically displays the maximum
temperature values set for the selected cycle, or the
most recently-used settings if they are compatible
with the selected cycle. The temperature can be
decreased by pressing the
button, until the cold
wash "
" setting is reached. If these buttons are
pressed again, the maximum values are restored.
Exception: if the Cotton programme is selected,
the temperature can be increased up to a value of
90°C.
Setting the drying cycle
The first time the button is pressed, the machine will
automatically select the maximum drying cycle which
is compatible with the selected wash cycle.
Subsequent presses will decrease the drying level and
then the drying time, until the cycle is excluded
completely (
). If these buttons are pressed again,
the maximum values are restored.
Two types of drying may be selected:
A - Based on a set time period: between 60' and 180'.
B - Based on the how damp the clothes are once
they have been dried:
Iron dry: slightly damp clothes, easy to iron.
Cupboard dry: suitable for laundry which can be put
back in a cupboard without being ironed.
If your laundry load to be washed and dried is much
greater than the maximum stated load (see below
table), perform the wash cycle, and when the cycle is
complete, divide the garments into groups and put
some of them back in the drum. At this point, follow
the instructions provided for a "Drying only" cycle.
Repeat this procedure for the remainder of the load.
N.B: a cooling-down period is always added to the
end of each drying cycle.
Drying only
Use the cycle selector knob to select a drying cycle
(
- - ) in accordance with the type of fabric. The
desired drying level or time may also be set using the

have selected, press the button until the indicator light
for the desired delay time is illuminated.
The sixth time the button is pressed, the function will
be disabled.
N.B.: once the START/PAUSE button is pressed the
"delay timer" indicator light will flash
(the time delay value may only be changed by
decreasing the time).
Modify the cycle settings.
Press the OPTION buttons to customise the wash
cycle in accordance with your own requirements.
 Press the button to activate the option; the
corresponding indicator light will switch on.
 Press the button again to disable the option; the
indicator light will switch off.
If the selected option is not compatible with the
